Lawrence had a crazed expression on his face as he spoke, as if he wished for the world to be in chaos. This made Han Shuo feel quite astonished.
"Brian, I'll be staying in Valen City for now. You can find me in the house you just came from if you need anything. Mm, right, how do I contact you? "Lawrence was in a good mood as he turned his head to look at Han Shuo.
Musing for a moment, Han Shuo gave Lawrence the address of the hotel Emily was staying in and then quickly left, not caring about what happened afterwards.
The hotel Emily was staying in wasn't a Dark Mantle stronghold, so Han Shuo wasn't afraid that Lawrence would find her. As Han Shuo was making his way back to the Dark Mantle stronghold, the sound of iron hooves rang out from Calvert's direction. It looked like Clark's death had indeed greatly affected the entirety of Valen City.
Han Shuo didn't linger in this direction at this moment, nor did he care about whether Calvert had been assassinated by Lucky. He concealed his tracks and quickly made his way back to the Dark Mantle stronghold.
Han Shuo easily found Emily after arriving at the Dark Mantle stronghold in Valen City. Waving her hands, Emily had Chester withdraw and then said to Han Shuo with a grave expression, "I know Lawrence's identity."
She was indeed worthy of being a senior executive of the Dark Mantle. Han Shuo looked joyfully at Emily and asked in high spirits, "That's great! Just what is that kid's background? His status seems to be quite high!"
"Oh you, if you interact with him in the future, pay attention to what you say and how you address him. This person may have a great influence on you." Emily glared unhappily at Han Shuo and then chanted a dark magic spell in a low voice. A boundary suddenly formed in the room and enveloped Han Shuo and Emily within.
"With this boundary, the members outside won't be able to hear what I'm going to say next." Emily said gravely.
Han Shuo was quite surprised to see Emily act so cautiously and hurriedly asked, "Alright, don't keep me in suspense. Just what is Lawrence's identity?"
Taking a deep breath, Emily sighed and said in a low voice, "He should be His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Startled, Han Shuo looked at Emily with a bit of disbelief. He then shook his head and said with a smile, "You're not joking are you? Every citizen of the Lancelot Empire knows very well that His Majesty only has two sons. How could there be a third prince? In addition, everyone knows that Lawrence is the son of the finance minister of the Empire. How could he be the third prince? "
"I'm telling the truth." Emily couldn't help but reach out and pinch Han Shuo when she saw that Han Shuo didn't quite believe her. She then explained, "This matter is a scandal in the royal family. The finance minister, Eevee, has some problems in that area and has married a beautiful wife, Alice. He can only look at her and not touch her. Eevee has a very good relationship with His Majesty and met Eevee's wife, Alice, at a private banquet that Eevee held. His Majesty was awed by Alice's beauty and because Eevee was impotent and His Majesty deliberately took action, the two ended up together.
This matter was discovered by Eevee because Alice was pregnant. Afterwards, His Majesty personally showed up and explained the matter to Eevee. What was done could not be undone. Add to that the fact that His Majesty was the ruler of the nation, Eevee knew that he was impotent and couldn't say anything to Alice, so he tacitly agreed to the matter.
However, because the impact of this matter was too bad, it had been concealed by both sides. Some of the nobles in the upper echelons of the Empire were aware of it, but no one dared to talk about it. Lawrence was the son of His Majesty and Alice. Ever since Lawrence was born, his ambitious mother, Alice, had carefully raised him, making him study the ways of governing the country and teaching him the knowledge he needed to know.
Lawrence had known his identity since he was young, but his talents were extraordinary and his conduct was brilliant. He even had a very good relationship with his adoptive father, Eevee. It was a pity that because of his identity as an illegitimate child, Lawrence couldn't enter the royal family. This made His Majesty feel very guilty and doted on Lawrence. He would often meet with Lawrence alone to express his concern. It was said that His Majesty was very satisfied with Lawrence.
As for the other two princes, one was brave and had the potential to become a great general, while the other was extraordinarily intelligent but indecisive. It seemed that neither of them were suitable candidates to manage the affairs of the country. Because His Majesty's body was growing weaker and weaker, and he himself felt that he didn't have much time left, His Majesty had been the closest to Lawrence during this period of time. According to the outside rumors, His Majesty had the intention of revealing Lawrence's identity and supporting Lawrence to become the next king.
However, the other two princes' mother's side was extremely powerful within the Empire. If His Majesty acted rashly, even he wouldn't be able to grasp the situation. That was why he hadn't acted yet. As His Majesty's body grew weaker and weaker, a storm was gradually brewing within the Empire. That old fox Candide told you not to get too close to Lawrence because he was worried that Lawrence's identity would affect your future. "
These words from Emily's mouth greatly shocked Han Shuo. Han Shuo had never thought that Lawrence would actually have such a lofty identity. If the situation developed smoothly, it was entirely possible that Lawrence would become the next king of the Empire, holding all the power within the Lancelot Empire and dictating the life and death of any person.
Seeing Han Shuo take a deep breath and his eyes continuously twinkle, Emily understood that her words had greatly affected Han Shuo. Seeing that Han Shuo was deep in thought, Emily didn't open her mouth to disturb Han Shuo. She only stood there and looked at Han Shuo, waiting for Han Shuo to sort out his own thoughts.
After a while, Han Shuo nodded and smiled at Emily, "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I know how to handle my relationship with Lawrence. "
"Our Dark Mantle has never interfered with complicated internal affairs of the royal family. We only listen to His Majesty's orders. Before the situation is clear and His Majesty has given a definite indication, we normally won't get involved. Candide, that old fox, was able to vaguely warn you after your first mission. This means that he thinks very highly of you.
He has good intentions towards you. The more you know about these matters, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. It's because I understand you too well and know of your strength and ambitions that I'm telling you such confidential matters. However, it's still up to you to decide how to grasp and decide. "Emily looked at Han Shuo and explained.
"I know that you're doing this for my own good. Heh heh, I know what to do. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've already killed Clark. Valen City should be in chaos right now. "Han Shuo smiled faintly at Emily.
It was Emily's turn to be shocked when she heard these words. She looked incredulously at Han Shuo and asked with great surprise, "What, what did you say? You said you killed Clark?"
Nodding, Han Shuo said with certainty, "Correct, I did kill Clark, but someone helped me in the middle. In addition, I only managed to do it because of a sneak attack. Don't be too surprised."
Exhaling lightly, Emily was still quite astonished. She shook her head, "We've investigated Clark's strength, he's absolutely an earth knight. He reached the strength of an earth knight at such a young age, and his potential is extraordinary. Who would've thought that you would ambush him and kill him like this? It looks like you're hiding a lot of things from me. "
"No, I'm really not hiding anything from you. Actually, an archmage necromancer appeared along the way and I, a fellow necromancer, helped us deal with Clark. We received great help from his strength, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to succeed at all. "Han Shuo smiled wryly and briefly recounted what had happened to Emily.
When Han Shuo had finished, Emily's expression became quite grave. She murmured, "Necromancers are already very rare, and archmage necromancers are even rarer. I really don't know which faction this necromancer belongs to."
"I'll need you to investigate this." Han Shuo said with a smile.
"Come, come with me. We'll go find something." Emily thought for a moment and put on a fur coat from the side, asking Han Shuo to walk out with her.
"What do we need to do?" Han Shuo walked up to Emily and gently tidied up the corners of Emily's clothes.
Smiling charmingly at Han Shuo, Emily laughed naughtily like a little girl about to do something naughty. "Clark just died, Valen City must be in a state of chaos right now. The Gryphon Legion must be in a frenzy right now, searching the entire city for traces of you. What we need to do is take advantage of the chaos and make things even more chaotic! "
"Heh heh, that's great. I've discovered that I like to do bad things! Perhaps I was a murderer and arsonist in my past life. "Han Shuo smiled faintly.
"You're also a very bad bastard in this life." Emily rolled her eyes at Han Shuo and removed the boundary, walking out with Han Shuo.
